Warriors believed. Thry did. Now, for the Thunder, where will KD end up?

Barbosa, Livingston, and Igoudala are much better than Cleveland's bench.

Beating Golden State three times is starting to look like the accomplishment we all thought it should have been. I can't help but wonder what might have been had OKC closed the series out, but alas, wondering is all I can do.

So, hopefully the Warriors can just close it out in Cleveland. Getting a bit burned out on watching them dominate games, and my Pacers are long out of the picture. Is football season here yet? :p

See thought that was the actual Finals, this is just some kind of mandatory exhibition between the two conferences for the end of the year.

But I'm really tired of all the Chokelahoma City jokes too despite how great that series was :p

So, 2 topics going on outside of the actual results. Number 1 is finals MVP, number 2 is the draft. I think that, if Golden State wins, Andre Igoudala should get it, and Kyrie Irving if the Cavs win.

The draft is obviously more interesting. Not much to talk about with the top 2. It's between Simmons and Ingram. Behind that, it's more interesting. Will Boston keep their pick? Who will go where? It's between Dunn, Bender, Hield, Brown, Murray... Phoenix are kinda a mess, so they mostly need stability. Minnesota will be looking for defence under Thibs, be interesting to see what we do... Not sure what to say about the Pelicans... Denver just will probably take the best they can get... Sacramento have a crappy GM, so fuck knows with them. Toronto will more than likely trade their pick, not sure what for though. And Milwaukee will probably just get the best centre available

The big three could still win, despite a horrendous bench for Cleveland. Golden State depends on Igoudala, Green, and Bogut for stopping LeBron. Besides, their bench does contribute, opposite of the Cav's bench.

Golden States will win. Duh, just as the Penguins defeated the lowly Sharks. If a team is deep-rooted in chemistry, then that team is bound to win.

I think Cleveland aren't managed or coached very well. They built a foundation around Kyrie Irving. Then LeBron and Love came in. None of the big three's game suit each other, and Love is in the wrong role as a personality. Golden State however, are perfectly managed. Not only did they draft well, but they put together a good support. Andre Igoudala and Shaun Livingstone obviously stand out, but everyone else helps. Meanwhile, Cleveland have what, 2 or 3 worthwhile bench players. Delly and Mozgov? Yeah

The level of refereeing this NBA Playoffs, especially the Finals, is beyond just terribad: It's just sad.

Also the Head Office ladies and gentlemen. Head Office. They can go fuck off any day in trying to manipulate results in their favour.
